Users. Who needs software RIGHTNOWRIGHTNOW? I would ignore them. OR remind then how long it used to take for the helpdesk to sneakernet stuff.
There is some time built into the content download process even with 1E deployed, so I wouldn't think anything lower than 15 would show any benefit.

We currently have the machine policy retrieval interval set to 30 minutes. I'm asking my admins to lower it to 15 minutes. Is that too low? What are you folks using for a machine policy retrieval interval? What are other factors I should consider? We bumped up our BITS rate considerably recently by the way. We are on SCCM 2007 R2. Thanks! Kelly Macone
